What am I supposed to use under the trays? They have holes in them, so I assume water will leak everywhere when I water, correct?

Correct. Get a large plastic tray from the garden shop and put under the seed tray. This way you won't waste water.

I've never actually noticed but in growing my own trays, I've never had a leakage...

Yes it will. I water them above the sink ms let them sit for a few minutes. The excess water runs off fairly quickly.

There is a water fill line that you should pay attention to. The vegetables cook better if you can close the lid and not have them compressed between the lid and the tray. This has been my experience. Good luck.

Yes, the trays are dipped in hot water and then sucked around the teeth. BUT I would recommend you do not buy this product because the makers have flooded Amazon with fake reviews.

They are in the spigot. We've used it a few times and have not had any leakage problems.

Hello. they will leak if you tighten by hand. they are tight so I used a set of needle nose piliers. Make sure it is tight or they will leak and you'll have to start over by taking off the unit completely. Save the time even if you have to take it to Lowes to see what pliers tighten them. Then you'll love the faucet. good luck

That happens because air comes in contact with it. The trays aren't airtight. Ziploc freezer bags are. :-) suck the air out of the bag, too, if you want.

I did this once. I drilled holes in the bottom to let excess moisture drain out. This leaking worm tea can be quite messy. It worked really well otherwise.

It depends. Some have a small plug in the bottom that may leak but others do not. I have taken the ones with plugs and just sealed them with silicon and never had a problem.

They do leak as ice melts or if you put water in them. You can probably seal the edges of the base with some clear sealant to eliminate this problem.

Have not had this problem ... yet. Mine have rolled edges and when I just looked at them I noticed two small holes at either end right under the roll that might allow water inside the roll. I am wondering if you soaked them? I've never soaked mine, just quickly washed and put in dish rack or in the dishwasher.

Yep, I just got these and they leak all over the place when not upright. Going to try jtrumpio's solution.

don't know if you're still worrying about this, but in case you haven't gotten an answer: it might be because you aren't pressing down hard enough to create a seal. water may leak through the sides and down into the "filtered" section.

I always put some paper on the tray to protect it from poop droppings. If I need to clean it I use hot water with a drop of antibacterial dishwashing soap and give it a good wipe with a washcloth. You may alternate using warm water and vinegaer solution to clean if you prefer. Hope this helps. Good luck

FWIW, I have had a half dozen similar bags, and if ice cubes are put into them, eventually they leak... To keep them from leaking, either use "blue ice" frozen packs or put the ice cubes in ziplock bags...

I have 2 trays and I stack them ontop of each other, but in opposite directions. Otherwise, the water spills out of the bottom tray. I suppose you might be able to stack them directly ontop of one another if you don't fill the bottom tray to the top, but the cubes won't be as big.

The tray is shallow and flat with grooves to drain. The problem is that the end farthest from the sink is not raised so, being flat, it does not drain well. I would think a raised sink would make it drain away from the sink and would accumulate the water in the tray until it overflows ... but which way?!?!?

I think that's more of a personal habit question. I use this for my electric toothbrush head, my flosser, and my tongue cleaner. I tap all of them on the edge of the sink to get excess water off (just have always done this) and then hang them up. I haven't seen any water pooling underneath. I actually love this little holder as it keeps my stuff up and out of the way of the counter.
